RE: Whiny Tin Fascists = WTF ?

Well, Spot, you are correct again. But consider this, being without health insurance does strongly correlate with being without health care. I suppose you are right about what you call the DC Tautology - ie solving the the problem of uninsured Americans by passing a law saying that all Americans have to buy insurance. But I don't think it's necessarily a bad idea. In the first place; prisoners receive medical services, so people in prison for being uninsured will have health care. In the second place, I think the DC Tautology has great potential. Just think, we could solve unemployment by simply passing a law requiring everybody to be employed. And we could stop 99% of illegal immigration by simply passing a law extending US citizenship to everyone born in Mexico.

psI know it didn't work so well when they tried to solve drug addiction by outlawing drugs, but maybe they just weren't tautological enough. Probably it would have worked better if they outlawed being addicted instead.
